They make darn good money at most large grocery stores
No, I don't tip them. If I thought they weren't getting paid hourly, then I might. I might tip someone who gave extra great service, like coming home and carrying them in the house for me, (j/k!) but most places where you are expected to tip, people just expect the tip and take it for granted anymore and don't always treat you well enough to deserve one!
I think good money is 50K a year.

Darn! Darn! Darn! Just think if it paid to post...
some, ah hem, long-winded people would never have to work anywhere else! 
DARN! I just missed it! Did he say anything good?
?
I think that's pretty darn good! I just started VR on Dictaphone
and I'm having trouble breaking 2000. It seems like it would be faster just to transcribe.
Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
One year and you make decent money? What is decent money to you?

Coffee just always smells so darn good, doesn't it? I drink 3 cups of coffee... sm
in the morning (used to be 4) w/Nutrasweet, a little regular powdered creamer and a little liquid French Vanilla creamer (yes, I do like it sweet!) If I'm really sleepy and need the boost, I'll have another cup or two.
Then I immediately start drinking diet Dr. Pepper, and not the caffeine-free kind. Love it. I drink diet Dr. Pepper throughout the day and night, about 6 cans a day (it used to be diet Coke). I've joked with my friends and family that it might be time for them to hold an intervention for me with the Dr. P.
I do sometimes worry about the mass quantity of Nutrasweet I consume each day. Anybody else?
Sickest thing, I made more money my first year as MT as I do now, for working
zz
Good money? Can we ask how much is considered GOOD in your books????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Very good...very good answer. Right on the money! (nm)

looking for GOOD money
Are there ANY companies out there who will pay you what you are worth? I've got 5+ years experience and only getting 7 to 8.5 cpl offered. It's not a question of whether or not my work is good or bad, it is definitely good. I have read where so many of you are making much more money than that and I would like to know WHERE to find such a job? I would even be happy getting paid by the hour at this point (if it's enough that is). I simply want paid what I'm worth for all my hard work! TIA!!!
Good money
You say you have 5+ years experience-- how would you like to be making that after 25+ years???? I would like to know where to find such a job as well.
good money
Well, I worked 60-70 hrs per week last year, with 2 weeks vacay and made 113,000+ - in my eyes radiology IS the best paying.
That's definitely good money. I wish I could make that much.
I'm making about $1,400 a MONTH working 25-30 hours per week. ESLs, run out of work often, lousy platform. What's the point any more? I definitely need to pick up some local accounts and never work for another national.
Oh man....that is NOT good...how do you make any money?
Four. And they make very good money.
But I get your point. But you asked!
Depends on what you think good money is too : )

Oh, but I make really good money
so I did not understand where this was coming from. You see, I have no children at home, only 2 of us, no bills, I only work part because that is all I want but still bring home about $1500.00 every 2 weeks, so no need to feel sorry. I said I type fast.
Any money is good today sm
Take what you can to make ends meet and then switch when a better offer comes along, just don't burn bridges. Watch Jim Cramer, he says work at the Dollar Store if you can. I believe this will pass myself, just hang in there!
LOL and you call that good money?
I used to make really good money.
Anywhere from $28-50 per hour. Same few dictators, lots of templates and Expander usage, pay averaged out to be $.12 per line. I only wanted to work part-time, but the company would have worked me full-time. One particular doctor was so easy, I could do 400+ lph for him. He only had maybe an hour of work per day. Voice recognition has my job now. I've been unemployed for the past six months. But 537 lph consistently? I don't know about that. It would have to be the same pool of dictators and the MT's expander stats would have to be HIGH!
I would please like to know how you make good money at it.
Would you care to share your cents-per-line and lines-per-hour with us? Roughly?
It would help alleviate the anxiety about it for some of us if we can hear from the horse's mouth (no insult intended) how this can be a good living for us. Especially when there are so many things to slow us down like ESLs and poor dictators and bad sound.
Thank you.
K-Mart managers...Good money! Yes!
You have GOT to be kidding. I don't know about TODAY'S wages, but K-Mart, (or Safeway or Target, etc)managers USED to make GREAT money!! Yes, they DO prefer a 4-year business degree. These are/were not low paying jobs. Minus the business degree, one would have to play "work up" and it could take 20+ years to get up that high. The pay was about 4-6 times higher than a beginning school teacher last I knew.
Professional escort - money is good.
Is it possible to make good money working for someone else?
.
I think that is all attitude. I make very good money at MT.
I knew they made good money...
I used to work for Kaiser in California. I really wanted to get on with the transcription department but there was NEVER an opening. I really miss working for Kaiser. I have not been able to find a hospital like that since I left. I now live in GA. The Kaiser here is not the same -- much smaller operation here. But I knew it, I knew it!

I can make good money without overtime
I posted below but when I saw your post and it said crap- I type mostly VR and I work 8 hour days 4 days a week. I make at least $160.00 per day- add that up if I worked full 40 hour week or lordy if I worked overtime like years gone by. I get paid no more because of my years of doing this- work for national- the pay is low but I am fast. I just wanted to make about the same as when I worked in the office and set my goals accordingly.
I do VR, love it, make good money at it
and I have no idea why people who do not do, have not done, don’t plan on doing talk so much against it.
Money, money, money, mmonnneyyy. Singing the Apprentice song.

This is a good time of year to buy.
There are usually good sales in the week before Christmas when retailers are hoping to improve their bottom line. Also, if you wait until January, you may find good bargains from those trying to move stock during a slow time. Personally, I like my Dell. I've had three of them now and really have not had any problems. You can now get them at Staples, too.
Depending on who you work for.... you can make good money
I usually average between $15-25 an hour doing VR. That is enough for me. I think it helps if you have companies that pay for footers, headers, spaces etc.. Good luck.
I would have to say that $.08/line is very good pay for one year experience.sm
The company I work for raise the line rate every two years. I rely a lot on my Expander program. Good luck!
Well, good morning "Frank" are you counting your piles of money?
penned in at the moment because of unethical practices of MQ,
but in essence you have "given" us to your competition. Your competition may have
been weakened by your siphoning off of MTs to work for MQ for a while
mostly because you became a monopoly, but with all the manpower
going to your broken competition and hospitals who are tired of being
manipulated with smoke and mirror business, see how good your name smells in
the medical field in about a year.
The resumes are flying like kites out there right now, can you see them?
Those are not clouds in your coffee those are your livelihood in the medical
field going up up up and away.
Enjoy your card game now. I think the slight of hand way of doing business
has just about seen its day.
Any company that cannot ever give how a line is counted and show
the method an MT is paid - so that the MT can double check her "billing" is
not an ethical institution. We don't work for the suprise we get in the bank at the end of 2 weeks of chasing work around your company, we work for the
money. We are business people just like you. You, MQ, would not do business without a clear contract and yet you have expected MTs to
work on a line count that is by YOUR FORMULA which you can't share! How insane is that?
I have been around awhile, and will last making good money as long as this field does.

I make very good money at home with a small MTSO
Can you make good money with radiology? I'm thinking of switching
nm
bless your heart for thinking $10-12/hour is good money - nm

My dad owns a dental lab - GOOD money, steady work, very tedious though

So I guess they get everything in good sale order right.Well, within a year or so MQ
will have closed their offices save for a few and everyone should be on DEP and they already know ASR is not worthwhile so that would be a good time to sell although it may take more than a year as slow as the accounts are moving to DEP.
going on my 17th year of it and feeling good about things sm
still loving it just as much. I work for a hospital and they just sent us home to type so everything is new again, new system, new challenges. I need to be challenged or I become bored, so enjoy things at the moment.
Well actually it is a good business practice as far as saving money for share holders is concerned.
Why would a company pay for individuals who need health insurance, benefits, minimum wage, etc when they can ship work out of the country for half as much as is necessary to pay US worker. Not that it's a good thing for us, just that this is the way it is.
How about your local community college and save a heap of money & get just as good of an education?
My daughter's 1 year cancer checkup was good on Tuesday -sm
so I am very happy. She is just past 1 year off chemo (08-17-05). She is on 3-month checkups (has been for the past year) and all looks well so that is always cause for much happiness around here!
Good luck to ya! Hope 2008 is the year of the transcriptionist !

a year. After I clean it good I turn it upside down on a towel for a day and then I position it
the heat/air conditioning register so it gets good and dry for about 2 days. If you don't let it dry good it won't work very well. I've been washing mine about 2 years.
I love procedures, colonscopes, EGDs, cardiac caths - this stuff earns me the good money, ESL or no!
Darn right he's still hot.
Darn!
That's the one I was leaning towards . . . I was hoping to learn that it did not interfere with typing. While wearing the glove it is much easier to type on my AlphaGrip, but I am still not speedy enough to use it full-time. I'm getting there though.
I kick myself when I think how I caused my own hand/wrist/arm injury. Trying to resolve my back pain, I rushed into using my inherited recliner, where I had to "reach" to reach the keyboard . . . my arm will never be the same.
I am in the recliner again now  , but I'm spending a buttload of dough to make it happen. 
Darn! And I
hoped this might be the place for me. Don’t want to have anything to do with overseas. Thanks for the info.
